How do I start a game with command line options?

Ah, turn based. I missed that you were doing a turn based game. Yes, that explains it. You will need to change the .gam file name every turn remember.

Fantastic, thank you! It will quite a bit easier to just edit the shortcut with the most recent turn than to open SE IV, load game.... Thank you!

I think there are some quirks though with opening turn based games from the command line. I have heard that your ships may lose their movement for that turn if you do it that way.

Still it is useful if you tend to save in the end of the turn, like i do. I play a turn to the end and save it and then leave the game.
